New book: Start Here! Learn JavaScript

We’re pleased to announce the availability of the new book Start Here! Learn JavaScript, by Steve Suehring, the author of several other JavaScript-centric books for Microsoft Press. Learn the fundamentals of modern programming with JavaScript—and begin building your first apps for the web. This book introduces must-know concepts and techniques through easy-to-follow explanations, examples, and exercises.

With the importance of web development skills growing every day, and the ever-increasing importance of JavaScript as a development language, for both the web and now for Windows Store app development as well, there’s a growing need for books that provide an entry-level path into JavaScript programming, and that beginner audience is the target for this book. Readers will acquire a fundamental knowledge that they can build on not only in JavaScript programming for the web, but also gain an introduction to programming Windows Store apps using JavaScript.
